I compiled a list of some of the Twin Cities’ top crowdfunding deals as the basis of this week’s cover story, which features interviews with entrepreneurs who successfully used websites like Kickstarter to fund product launches.

I say “some” top deals because it’s not that easy to get Kickstarter to spit out a list of successful campaigns across an entire metro area. (For instance, restaurant Travail’s huge raise only shows up if you search for Robbinsdale, but not if you search Minneapolis). If I missed a successful campaign that would have made this list, please let me know and we’ll add it in.

Here’s the criteria for the list:

Crowdfunding deals must have closed between Jan. 1, 2012 and Nov. 24, 2013. We only included campaigns started by businesses, so you won’t find any films, albums, etc. Campaigns had to meet or exceed their fundraising goals.

See below for a sortable list of 49 successful crowdfunding campaigns in the Twin Cities:
